Hello, Everybody! The Holidays are coming up and I thought it would be a great idea to have Holiday Gift Exchange for 2013. We did one last year and it seamed to be a pretty fun event.

To partake all you have to do is post what you would like to receive. Other member's will see what your "wish" is and will PM you about giving you your "wish".

It is asked that you post a "wish" only once. It's ok to make an either or "wish" (For example, hey I would be happy to be gifted this or that). However, you can grant a "wish" more than once. Once a "wish" is granted, it is asked that you, please, let me know so that I can take you off the "wish list". I will keep track of the wish list in post #1. Posting photos of your received "wish" is highly encouraged!

Note: No wishing for anything that may be illegal to traffic over state lines, i.e. guns, alcohol, dope etc.

Note: Not everyone wishing may get their wish granted. It would be nice but, unfortunately, it is not a perfect world. Although, I am sure our members will do their best to grant all the "wishes".

jontok, would you be okay with something diy? and do you have any issues with camo?

abbrown · « **Reply #4 on:** October 24, 2013, 04:17:31 PM »

This sounds like a great idea and sounds fun, I have a pretty good extra's box.

Ab- I'm looking for a good tarp for use with hanging or ground for 3 or possibly 4 season application.

No problems with either (as long as it keeps my butt off the ground).

I'd love to get a Lensatic Compass for Christmas from someone, since Santa's probably planning on giving me coal. Jokes on him though coz it will go into my forge!

I wish for a good spoon knife.

Yellowyak · « **Reply #15 on:** October 29, 2013, 03:17:00 PM »

I'd love a nice piece of wood to make a spoon out of. I've tried with some various woods, but have failed miserably. I want to conquer spoon carving, but I need some type of good carving wood that I can have some success with.

Thanks

rogumpogum · « **Reply #17 on:** November 01, 2013, 06:26:26 PM »

Okay, I think I decided.

I'd like to take a crack at leatherworking. I've been thinking of that for awhile now, even though I've had some tools in the past, I don't have them now. So... I would like some basic leatherworking tools. Used is totally fine!

I will endeavor to help out someone equally in kind!

BigHat · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2013, 12:33:41 PM »

did some work on jontok's hammock today, just waiting on a couple of things to show up in the mail so i can finish it off.

This sounds fun. I'll keep an eye on this thread and see if I can grant anyone's wish.

Now let me think...

I suppose I wish I had a kettle or maybe a bivy for my USGI sleeping bag.

EDIT: JtD, I got your lensatic compass. PM me your address.

I guess something kind of like this, though I'm not married to this particular style:

Something compact and hopefully cheap.

I got something like that that I'm not using. PM me your name/addy and I'll send it to you.

I have a huge chunk of burl if you'd like it yak. Don't know how easy it is to carve, but might make a cool kuksa.

Wow, that's very thoughtful of ya JTD. I think I need to start a little slower than trying to carve a kuksa, and I'd hate to mess up a nice piece of burl wood. Thanks so much for the offer though.

Wilderbeast, I have a couple of balaclavas that you can try out and if you don't like you can pass along. One is a Carhartt fire retardant model, but they are warm and keep you dry. The other is a no name but works well.

Can't help you on the baklava, I'm not the best cook.

Pm me you address.
